Chapter 378: Whose Credit
If he agrees now, maybe after the steppe tribes have recuperated, they will come back again, and then they will have to send people to exterminate them, will they have to send people to negotiate peace again?
"Your Majesty Yu Shaoxi, you have misunderstood what I mean, our king of the steppe Khuleiboto attaches great importance to the peace talks between the two countries, so he not only ordered General Qiyangrad to withdraw his troops from Lilac City, but also asked me to bring 2,000 of the best war horses of the steppe and 200,000 taels of silver as compensation for the war. I hope that Your Majesty Yu Shaoxi can put aside your past suspicions, so that our two countries will become friends for generations and live in harmony for a long time. Turut said respectfully.
"It's ridiculous! According to what you say, if the Grassland King doesn't let his subordinates withdraw, my Great Xia Empire's army won't be able to recapture Lilac City, right?" Yu Shaoxi slapped the dragon case heavily, and said angrily: "You go back now, let that Kuleiboto send someone to attack Lilac City again! I want to see if the people he sent this time are still so lucky to be able to retreat with the army!"
"Your Majesty, you can't be so angry with these rats, they are just like some people, they can only speak quickly, and in fact they are not capable of anything at all. Situ Wuji hurriedly said, wanting to calm Yu Shaoxi's anger.
It's just that it seems to be appeased, but he is mainly to scold Huai at Old Man Lin, after all, he has also suffered a lot in the hands of Lin Yu, and such an opportunity must not be missed.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Wechen dares to guarantee that even if that Geler comes a hundred or a thousand times, Wechen will be able to beat him to the ground every time. It's really not worth it for you to dissipate your anger first, it's really not worth it to be ruined by this kind of popularity!" Situ Xiaofeng also said with a righteous face, and glared at Turut by the way.
He still thinks that it was because his plan succeeded and he successfully attacked Qiyangrad that the other party would flee, so he also followed Situ Wuji to echo him.
Looking at the faces of the Situ family's grandfather and grandson singing and harmonizing, Old Man Lin didn't have any anger in his heart, but more doubts.
He had privately asked the soldiers who had been wounded in the Battle of Lilac City and came back to recuperate, and after learning that Situ Xiaofeng led the army, he not only lost one battle after another, but in the end, he could not even keep the inner city, so he could only abandon the city and flee. If it weren't for the mountain pass after Lilac City, the grassland tribe might have entered the Central Plains at this time and arrived at the imperial capital.
But the strange thing is that it didn't take long for Situ Xiaofeng to kill the soldiers of the grassland tribe and flee, and successfully recaptured the Lilac City, this unbelievable good news made him very puzzled, if Situ Xiaofeng was capable, why didn't he hold Lilac City in the first place? Wouldn't it be very unreasonable to wait for the other party to occupy it before retaking it?
Coupled with what Turut said just now, it sounds like Qiyangrad took the initiative to give up the Lilac City that he had already reached, instead of being defeated by Situ Xiaofeng and fleeing. Could it be ...... Is there something wrong with the steppe tribes themselves?
Well, it must be so. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why someone would not only not take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, but give up the results of the battle and let his men evacuate under the premise that the situation is good.
Old Man Lin thought about it on the side, and Turut, who was standing in the hall, spoke again: "Your Majesty Yu Shaoxi, if you think that those things just now are not enough to make up for the losses in this war, then King Kuleiboto can also increase some compensation." ”
He thought that Yu Shaoxi was too little compensation, so he was so angry, and continued: "As long as you are willing to release Prince Kurekba and return a few cities and lands of our steppe tribe, no matter how many taels of silver, King Kureboto is willing to ......" Turut was about to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by Yu Shaoxi.
"Wait!What are you talking about?" Yu Shaoxi was angry, and he didn't pay attention to what Turut said, and he didn't react until he overdone it. He asked inexplicably, "What do you want me to release Prince Knockba?Also, when did I encroach on your land? You make it the same clear to me, otherwise you don't want to leave this Jinluan Palace today!"
Yu Shaoxi was very surprised in his heart: This grassland tribe can't have a broken brain, right? He lost the prince and ran here to ask for land from him? How can he have any prince to hand over to them?
Turut couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he thought that Yu Shaoxi was pretending to be stupid, but looking at his expression, it didn't look like it, so he had to speak: "That...... General Lin Yu of your Great Xia Empire set out from the Ximu Empire a while ago, led the army to attack our three cities, and captured most of them, and captured the Knock ...... We, Prince Khurekba, are his captives. ”
"That's why King Khureboto asked General Qiyangel to withdraw his troops from Lilac City, and sent an envoy to the Great Xia Empire, hoping that His Majesty Yu Shaoxi would accept the compensation of the steppe tribes, release Prince Khurekba, and return our city and land. In desperation, Turut said the conditions again.
"What? This ......" This time it was Yu Shaoxi's turn to be dumbfounded, did he hear it right? Lin Yu was so tough that he went directly to someone's house? Moreover, he not only defeated the core city of the grassland tribe, but also captured the only son of the grassland king?
And Situ Wuji and Situ Xiaofeng were also surprised to close their mouths, Situ Xiaofeng finally understood why Qiyan Grad suddenly withdrew at that time, it turned out that it was because he learned the news of the capture of Dadu!
So...... The recovery of Lilac City, isn't it because of his own custom plan at all?
He suddenly felt that the courtiers' eyes had suddenly changed when they looked at him, and they became contemptuous and sympathetic, as if to say: Look! This poor fellow was obviously saved by others, but he wanted to put the credit on himself! It was simply a shame for the Great Xia Empire!
Situ Xiaofeng quietly took two steps back, subconsciously wanting to hide himself in an unnoticed place.
"Your Majesty, the servant has just received a letter from the guards, saying that it is good news sent by Lin Yu, the general of Fuxi, please take a look. Suddenly, a male duck's throat broke the strange silence in the court, and Grandpa Cai walked in with a letter and respectfully placed it on Yu Shaoxi's dragon case
